Do you identify as Queer?
Absolutely not! In fact - I do not like the word. Growing up, that word was considered and used as a slur (still true to this day). That negativity is so ingrained in that word, for me, that I don't care for it. I know others have reclaimed the word and feel it best describes them, and more power to them. Even saying the word or hearing it makes me uncomfortable. But since I have friends who self-identify as such, I say the "Q word." On paper I'm bisexual, I identify as heterosexual, but I classify as heteroflexible.
